BOTOX Cosmetic

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and crow's feet lines in adults.

How does BOTOX® work?

BOTOX® is a prescription medication that targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow's feet, repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting of the eyes. BOTOX® is injected into the muscle to temporarily reduce the muscle activity so you will begin to notice a visible smoothing of the lines between the eyebrows (glabella lines) and the crow's feet (side of the eyes).
